SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This document amends FDA's regulations to reflect the name and address change of AOAC by removing the outdated name and address wherever it appears and by adding the new name and address in its place in 21 CFR parts 2, 10, 101, 102, 106, 114, 130, 131, 133, 135, 136, 137, 139, 145, 146, 150, 155, 156, 160, 161, 163, 164, 166, 168, 169, 172, 173, 176, 177, 178, 184, 189, 211, 226, 520, and 573.

Publication of this document constitutes final action on these changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). Notice and public procedure are unnecessary because FDA is merely correcting nonsubstantive errors.

Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR chapter I is amended as follows:
